Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

You are right brother but mileage was never my concern. Joy of excellent low and mid range is enough for me.

According to me hunk is better than trigger.

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

Maybe, But I was saying Hero still uses Honda's engine. Why not use Honda's vehicle itself instead of Hero.

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

My friend has Fazer(1 yr old) and yesterday I insisted him and drove it for few kms. Some points what I found:
It was good in handling the ups and downs on roads but was not able to pull bikes from low speed and had to downshift gear many times. Also his bike didn't have battery and I had to kick like 5 times to start it. Also I felt the lighting was very weak, maybe because of the Battery. He also told if you look for mileage Yamaha will not suit you and better go for Unicorn-150 cc splendor he added .

I still need to drive GS and Trigger. But till now whatever bikes I have driven I liked Hunk most. Most irritating was Pulsar, weird and not at all suited for me No harm to anyone.

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

That's unusual. FZs are known for their low-end torque. Maybe your friend's bike had an issue.

All bikes are equally matched here (or suck equally, if you know what I mean), with a 35/35 unit.

That's absolutely true. Yammies had never been known for fuel efficiency. Heck, even my 125cc Gladiator had a FE of 38-40.

TR all the bikes and see which one you like most. After all, it's your choice and your affection towards a bike which matters the most, and not what others say. :thumbup:

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

These modern bikes should never be run without battery as they have DC ignition. FZ/Fazer has full DC electrical too(headlights run from battery) and have one of the good headlights in 150cc.
Unicorn can't be called 150cc splendor, though it has good mileage (above 50 in city riding). It has got the same power as FZ but a little less low end torque.
Both have almost equal top speed too.

[MENTION=24993]Prath[/MENTION]apa,

Ride your choice of bikes back to back to understand which one better suits you. Many of my peers weren't happy with my choice of GS150R but i liked the bike in the very first test ride i took.

If you have to choose between GS and Trigger you go to consider this;

GS Trigger
# Extremely Refined Engine, No vibrations even till 80 Kmph Refined Engine, although vibrations can be felt after crossing 60 kmph
# Feels like a bigger bike, can be handful in handling department Feels like a regular bike, handling is as nimble as it can get
# Good mid range and top end torque, sucks from standstill Evenly spread out torque, nicely spaced gears
# Suits a matured biker who goes about his business Suits people who like bursting out short distances
# Handles corners well, but not very confidence inspiring Inspires confidence while attacking corners
# Long distance work horse Fun ride, ideally suited for city riding
# Good quality components and switch gear, ergonomic in all aspects Cheap quality switch gear, not so ergonomically designed

My two paisa: If you ride only short distances on a regular basis and need a bike that handles well, go for Trigger. If you like sucking the highways like spaghetti and need a monkishly calm engine even at high revs, GS150R are is one of the best choices from the available lot. Suit yourself.

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

[MENTION=66698]mhussain[/MENTION] Thanks for the detailed info.

So you mean to say I should go with Trigger as mostly my ride would be in the overloaded city traffic.
But still I feel GS is better bike than Trigger isn't?

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

Ride both of them back to back and find out which one better suits you. While GS will take some getting used to with it's higher turning radius, length and weight, Trigger is a much fun to handle bike. With GS you will get an added advantage of long distance riding, not sure if Trigger will match up as i haven't ridden it longer than 10-15 Km at a stretch.

But my suggestion is ride them both back to back, feel the difference and then make your decision. Both are good bikes in their own way and you won't regret having bought either of them

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

Then go for it. If 6 pages of suggestions and reviews can help you decide, nothing would. It would be better if you go for what " you" feel is right than anybody else.

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

+100. You nailed it.
@prathappa, there would be no winner from the above bikes. All are good more or less. You have to find the winner out of these based on your requirements.

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

you should go with hunk or gs150r as these two are better than trigger in many ways except their weight and handling....

I agree Trigger is coming with some positives as a commuter but there are some negatives as well (based on my test ride and my colleague's bike):

1. It looks small and low(height wise) in comparison to other 150cc bikes.
2. lacks kill switch.
3. sitting position is very very commuterish. acc to me it should me a mix of sporty and comfy position like hunk, fz, sz-r, p150 etc...
4. speedo meter looks small in real.
5. spare part problem at honda service centers is a common problem.
6. very low quality control switches.
7. vibrates a bit around 4500-5000rpm mark which is strange as its honda engine.
8. top speed is 107kmph on speedo (as per my experience) which is a bit on lesser side
9. Design is not that innovative keeping fz series in mind. it looks very basic and simple, nothing out of the box. people are expecting a lot from honda.
10. very tall and wide handlebar which looks generation old and gives it splendour and passion type riding position. even stunner and twister ride position feels better than this 150cc trigger.

Trust me hunk and gs150r will give you much better feel between legs than trigger because trigger feels small and looks small too. On the other hand Hunk will give you an added advantage of HERO's service network which is biggest in India, most probably 4-5 times of honda and roughly 20 times of suzuki in numbers....

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

Err, what did I just read?

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

Dont take it other way brother...

Re: Great confusion: Trigger or GS150R

[MENTION=66767]prathappa[/MENTION], did you take test ride of both the bikes? If you haven't done, go and test ride them first.
